Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme: | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
Tackling traffic chaos on our roads — BBC South Today can exclusively | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
reveal Oxfordshire's first park and ride outside of the city is set to | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
open in Bicester. Also: a shortage of emergency accommodation — why | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
homelessness in Milton Keynes is getting worse. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
And later on: We'll find out about the computer con on the other side | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
of the world that's targeting vulnerable people in the South. | :00:30. | :00:41. | |
Good evening. Success has had consequences. The | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
designer shopping outlets at Bicester attracts thousands of | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
visitors each day. But that often leads to chronic congestion on the | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
roads and frustration for other businesses and people living nearby. | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
Now the owners of the complex are stumping up the money that the | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
council needs to build a brand new park—and—ride site. The BBC has | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
learned that plans will be submitted next month. If approved, the | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
500—space facility — Oxfordshire's first outside the city — would be up | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
and running late next year. Adina Campbell reports. | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
The bargains may be tempting but traffic around North Oxfordshire's | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
designer shopping outlets is normally a headache. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
When you come towards the village, I got guys working in the. It takes | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
forever to get there. The traffic is terrible. It is diabolical, | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
especially around near Sainsbury's. With the cars coming out of the | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
multistorey and then you've got traffic lights not coordinating. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
The traffic could soon be eased if a park and ride goes ahead. Planning | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
application is due before the end of November. It is here in this patch | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
of land between the A41 and this estate that the first park—and—ride | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
in the county outside Oxford could be built. Businesses say that it | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
could help during busy times such as weekends and bank holidays. | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
At the moment, the car park is going to be free. We will be arguing | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
strongly that it remains so, so that people are encouraged to use the | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
strong asset. It is not clear how much it will | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
cost. It would also include back—up points for people travelling away | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
from the town. But some think some businesses could lose out. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
There is quite a lot of bias. They already have their own bus routes. | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
As long as it feeds the town centre, it can only be a good thing. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
There'll be much more from Bicester over the next few days on BBC Radio | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Oxford, as the station continues it's Big Tour of the county. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
South Central Ambulance Service has confirmed it's to review the | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
decision to sack one of its longest—serving volunteers. Godfrey | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Smith from Farringdon had been a first responder for 15 years. But he | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
was struck off when it was discovered that'd he'd broken the | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
speed limit while attending an emergency call. His car was logged | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
doing 33mph through a 20mph zone. The decision was criticised as too | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
harsh and a local campaign started calling for him to be reinstated. | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
Dealing with homelessness is a problem for all our councils but for | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
one its been particularly bad in recent months. Back in May, Milton | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
Keynes was revealed to have the worst track record outside London | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
for re—housing people in emergency bed and breakfast accommodation. As | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Ben Bland reports, the problem's continuing to grow. | :03:59. | :04:09. | |
Bringing up a young family can be difficult, especially with those for | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
nowhere to call home. This man asked us not to reveal his identity. Henan | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
and his partner have been housed in local hotels for months. | :04:20. | :04:31. | |
We are both awake, do go out of the room, just outside the door so that | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
they can go to sleep. Or we would hide in the toilet with the lights | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
on waiting for them to go to sleep. It is a situation you do not want to | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
be in. If a child is put into a hotel or a | :04:46. | :04:57. | |
bed—and—breakfast for over six weeks, it is illegal. | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
It is unacceptable and we are not complacent. We are doing things to | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
change that but it is the characteristics of Milton Keynes | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
that caused the issue. We are a young city, we have only been in | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
place for a short time and we don't have a great deal of cheap | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
accommodation. The government says that it has made | :05:24. | :05:40. | |
almost £2 million available to tackle this problem. The grant for | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
Milton Keynes was turned down. Families are still waiting for a | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
home of their own. Thousands of people living in the | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
more rural parts of our area rely on heating oil to keep their homes warm | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
during the cold winter months. Often they've no alternative because | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
there's no mains gas supply nearby. But filling a storage tank can cost | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
hundreds of pounds. And, of course, customers have to pay that sum up | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
front. Well, now a charity is helping make things easier for | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
people who might otherwise struggle to afford to keep warm. Jessica | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Cooper reports. Topping up the tank. Another 500 | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
litres going in, one of many deliveries made in Oxfordshire | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
everyday. But every month the cost of oil changes, affecting people in | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
rural areas. An Oxfordshire charity has told us some who can't afford | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
the price are too embarrassed to ask for any help. It's now in talks with | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
a credit union to find the best way for people on tight budgets to pay | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
for their oil up front. They are very keen to work with us | :06:47. | :06:56. | |
to allow people to borrow in order to buy. We were paying 15p a litre | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
and now it is 65p. Paul's got no concerns about turning his heating | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
up. If you are only a tight budget and | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
having to watch the pennies, you can get it at a bulk price. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
He now co—ordinates 60 members buying together, including the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
school and the village hall, to save money. There are now 1000 members of | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
the scheme and they have saved an average 10p per litre. That doesn't | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
sound like a lot but when ordering a minimum of 100 metres, that means a | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
saving of £50. The community council is hoping a heating oil fund is just | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
months away to make sure people don't struggle to heat their homes | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
this winter. It's a training base for some of our | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
top Paralympic stars but this week Stoke Mandeville Stadium has | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
welcomed a new generation athletes. Dozens of children with disabilities | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
tried wheelchair basketball, table tennis and athletics at the National | :08:00. | :08:13. | |
Junior Games. Jeremy Sterns reports. Wheelchair basketball was a big hit | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
at last year's Paralympic games so no surprise it was a popular choice | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium. But not as popular as Boettcher. You | :08:23. | :08:32. | |
have different coloured balls and you have to get it closest. I like | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
the intensity of it and it is good fun when you haven't got anything | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
else to do. It is good to get new people along the sports to see if | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
they can find a new hobby. Somehow they got for the first time, others | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
are rising stars. 15—year—old Lewis Edwards was spotted throwing discus | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
two years ago and is now the local champion. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
I think 2016 in Rio de Janeiro will be too soon but I want to compete in | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
the Paralympic games. It all started here. | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
They will come in at the start of the week and be quite nervous. It | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
might be the first time away from their families. But by the end of | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
the week you can see that they do not want to leave. | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
There are four weeks of activities and one of these children will be | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
crowned national champion at the end. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
Just a reminder that nominations are now open for this year's Oxfordshire | :09:42. | :09:53. | |
Sports Awards. Categories include Club of the Year and Unsung Hero. | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
You can find out more, and cast your vote, by logging onto the | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
Oxfordshire Sports Partnership website. We'll be at the awards | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
ceremony on November the 29th at the extraordinary island swim by Anna | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
Wardley and how rice pudding was on her | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
A scam which originated in India has cost one Hampshire woman hundreds of | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
pounds. In a report which can be seen tonight on BBC's Inside Out | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
programme, Judy Brookes reveals how she was tricked into paying for work | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
on her computer she didn't need which left her vulnerable to | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
scammers.scammers. ??LINEBREA Judy Brookes' problem | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
started with a phone call from a man falsely claiming to be from | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
Microsoft telling her she hadn't registered. I felt guilty because | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
no, I hadn't registered. I was taken in and said, all right, I'll get | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
register and he said, we'll give you backup and you will never hear from | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
us again, that's it, finished, that's all you will have to pay, no | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
more. The calls kept coming with a final ultimatum. He was convincing | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
and plausible that if you continue comply, we have power to switch you | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
off completely. Inside Out tracked down the scammers to Connecticut in | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
India. By the time we got there, they'd moved on with Judy's money. | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
We found this man who took part in a similar scam. I guess I used to make | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
£200 a day. My job was to tell them to open up the computers and show | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
them the virus which they had. I realise that is a scam and this is | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
not really done, you know, particularly from my part. I was | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
feeling wrong when I did that. In Romsey with professional help, | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
Judy's PC is now running securely again. | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
Very bad experience. What I'm really concerned about is that other | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
people, vulnerable like me, living on their own, my age group, are | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
going to be similarly sweet—talked or mesmerized or hypnotized by this | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
firm. A 21—year—old man from Hampshire | :11:52. | :12:06. | |
paralysed in a road accident has quite literally taken his first | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
steps to recovery during a fun run to raise money for the Air Ambulance | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
which saved his life. Be—of Andrew Read from Waterlooville has been in | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
a wheelchair since a road accident in February last year. He's been | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
having intensive physiotherapy and was determined to take a few steps | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
across the finishing line in Thruxton, held in aid of the | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
Hampshire and Isle ofWight ambulance. | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
For Andy Read, this moment was like finishing a marathon. After an hour | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
of manoeuvering his new wheelchair two—and—a—half miles for one lap | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
around the circuit at Thruxton, he stood up and walked the last few | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
feet to the delight of his father, Kevin. Absolutely fantastic. We | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
never thought we'd see this. Andy was a very active, sporty | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
teenager, until a car in which he was a passenger crashed causing him | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
brain damage. Andy has been slowly recovering toer | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
the past 18 months alet the neurological unit in Southampton, | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
the Queen Alexander Hospital in cosh ham and now the QEF Newry | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
rehabilitation centre in Surrey. One goal and incentive was to take part | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
in the fun run at Thruxton. The event raised money for the | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance which is funded through | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
donations. Kevin says without their speedy work, his son would not be | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
alive today and Andy was determined to give something back to them. For | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
Andy, it was a huge challenge. It was great to see him. If you go back | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
to somebody who was basically dead 18p months ago, to somebody who can | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
now drive himself around a circuit controlling a powered wheelchair and | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
then to be able to walk across, for him it was a tremendous thing. A bit | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
like climbing Everest for him. It was quite extraordinary for a young | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
man like him who's had a life—changing injury to actually | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
show the determination and participate in an event and then | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
actually be quite determined that he has been all along to walk across | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
the finishing line. Just extraordinary and we are very proud | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
of him and he should be very proud of his achievement. Andy's part in | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
the run raises thousands and he wanted to pass on a special message | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
to the Air Ambulance. Thank you for saving my | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
It's a piece of the south's proud history that's almost been | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
forgotten. Now, Reading's hero with a shovel is about to get a permanent | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
memorial to his heroism. In Gallipoli in 1915, Fred Potts saved | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
the life of a fellow soldier to become the only man from the town to | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
receive the Victoria Cross. Now, a campaign to raise money for a huge | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
statue has been started with celebrity backing. | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
An act of astonishing bravery that will now be permanently cast in | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
Reading's history. I think it's absurd that the only soldier from | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
Reading who won the Victoria Cross hasn't got some sort of | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
commemoration in Reading so yes, we are going to work for that. It's a | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
lot of money we want to raise but we are going to have it up and | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
dominating somewhere in the centre of Reading. | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
In Gallipoli in 1915, 22—year—old freed Potts had been shot during an | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
assault. Crawling through no—man's—land, he saw Arthur Andrews | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
who had been badly wounded. Over the next two days, in searing heat under | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
sniper fire, he dragged Arthur to safety on a trenching shovel. | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
Potts was determined to save Andrews and when you read about the | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
Gallipoli campaign, it's just amazing. I doubt if he ever got much | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
higher than that. He had to really crawl. The Trust now needs to raise | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
£165,000 for a bronze that will certainly catch the eye. | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
The full size statue will be ten foot long. It will be seven and a | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
half foot high and will weigh over 1.5 tonnes. It's scheduled to be | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
unveiled in August 2015, exactly 100 years after Potts performed his | :16:17. | :16:25. | |
heroic fate. Feat. Very proud. He was apparently a very unassuming man | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
and really shunned the highlights. I think he would have been running for | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
cover somehow. You talk about the fact that if Potts hadn't rescued | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
him, he would have definitely died. There is no way that he could have | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
gotten back on his own, so the whole family really wouldn't exist if he | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
hadn't rescued him. The exact place the statue will | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
stand is yet to be decided. But what is certain is that the hero with the | :16:51. | :17:12. | |
shovel will at last inspire his hometown for generations to come. | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
Incredible bravery. You have some | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
fans. Southampton won 1—0 at Liverpool. | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
It's never an easy place to go, but it's a real mark of how far they've | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
progressed in recent years. Interestingly, Southampton were the | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
last team to defeat Liverpool back in March at St Mary's, but Liverpool | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
This was the first goal faced Saints on their home turf | :17:27. | :17:37. | |
This was the first goal Liverpool conceded this season and it was | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
their first defeat in the Premier League. | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
It was also the creation's first goal for the Saints. A joy to play | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
here at Anfield. I think the most important thing is we win this game. | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
It was a hard game, tough game, but we were together and good today. | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
Goals flowed at either end. City put understand they | :18:01. | :18:26. | |
Goals flowed at either end. City put themselves back in front but, while | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
they still have work to do at the back, Swindon's attacking power | :18:34. | :18:45. | |
gives them the edge. MK Dons lost their unbeaten run at Peterborough, | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
in spite finishing the game with nine men. This goal with 15 minutes | :18:48. | :19:00. | |
left proved only a consolation. Oxford generated's unbeaten start to | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
the season is also over after losing to Chesterfield. —— Oxford United. | :19:05. | :19:14. | |
They hit the post late on. An own goal proved pivotal for | :19:14. | :19:26. | |
Portsmouth. Cricket now and Hampshire batsman | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
Michael Carberry's been selected for the England Ashes squad to tour | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
Australia this winter. The 32—year—old opened a sports injuries | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
clinic this afternoon, he featured in the one—day series in the summer | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
but his only previous test cap was against Bangladesh in 2010 There is | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
not a lot of guys starting test career at my age, it's a rarity, but | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
I guess, as people say, if you are old enough, you are good enough, and | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
experience tells me that the cricket season is a long season, you know, | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
we'll work on some stuff with the coaches and keep drilling the | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
basics. We'll continue the one—dayers into | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
the latter part of the Championship. A big night for fans of Poole | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
pirates who face Swindon Robins. It's a rerun of the Grand Final last | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
year. This is the pit area of the stadium. | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
The Poole Pirates riders getting their bikes ready for the first of | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
the 15 heats that will contest this semi—final first leg. About ten or | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
15 yards away this side, we have the defending champions, the Swindon | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
Robins getting themselves ready. These two sides contested the Grand | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
Final 11 months ago and swivened came out on top winning their first | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
league title for 45 years sparking great scenes of celebrations down on | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
the south coast. Their team manager Alan roster says | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
he wants a big lead to take down to Poole in a weeks' time for the | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
second leg where it's the Pirates who have the unfamiliar thatting of | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
underdogs —— Alan Rossiter. Here they are in the play—offs again and | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
now they are here, they are confident of causing upset against | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
the Swindon Robins. We'll hope to have the result for | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
you at 0.25 here tonight. That's all the sport. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
Thank you very much. Now, it's a feat four people have managed to | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
swim nonstop around the Isle of Wight. It's a 60—mile challenge and | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
was completed by Anna Wardley as part of her fund—raising charity | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
five island swim. We followed Anna's challenge and the Isle of Wight was | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
a monster to conquer. Starting and finishing at Ryde sands, it took | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
over 26 hours to complete. It burnt off a whopping 15,000 | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
calories. Quite incredible stuff. I'm | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
delighted to say that Anna's joined us to tell us all about it. Welcome. | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
Thank you. You finished on sad. —— Saturday. How are you feeling? | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
Great. It was such a fantastic feeling to finally do the big one | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
and to get round on my first attempt. I was kind of pretty | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
overwhelmed and yes, feeling pretty good. | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
I notice you brought in a couple of things here. | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
I thought that this was a solo challenge. We have here, well tell | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
us about this lucky duck? It's been with me on all my challenges, not in | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
the support boat, but in the water and it's very important that he's | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
there when I'm swimming and he came the whole 60 miles at the weekend. | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
He was one of the many supporters, you had incredible people following | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
owing you. Let's take a look at the moment when you reached the steps at | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
Ryde. APPLAUSE | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
What was that moment like for you, Anna? It was just utter relief, to | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
be honest with you. There was very little joy, it was just relief that | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
it was over and I could finally stop swimming after 26 and a half hours. | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
I think I'd gone through hell and back a few times during the swim and | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
I just wanted it all to stop and the approach up to the Pier was really, | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
really tough. It was just complete relief. | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
I suppose as well, are you going to have a go again at Tyree? At the | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
moment, my priority is to have a rest. Tyree was a brilliant training | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
swim for the Isle of Wight. It was tough but got me ready for the Isle | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
of Wight which in a way was tougher so I'm going to have a rest. The | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
idea of swimming up and down your local pool is offputing, so what | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
made you do this? I'm raising money for charities and get Hulme support | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
when I'm out there in the water on my own —— huge support. | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
I was hell bent I was getting around the island. All the messages from | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
all over the UK and all over the world, people following the tracker, | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
looking at my position every ten minutes and I knew all those people | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
were urging me on and there was absolutely no way I was getting out, | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
I was on a mission to swim back to Ryde if it killed me. Explain the | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
rice pudding? Eating is essential, really important. One of the things | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
I eat is rice pudding. My support team cut off the corner and I piped | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
rice pudding into my mouth. It's not elegant but gets energy in. While | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
you are in the water? Yes, so I eat a whole range of thing, pasta, | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
sandwiches and energy gels to keep the energy up. Absolutely incredible | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
achievement. Thank you so much for being with us to tell us about it. | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
Thank you very much. Be Just some weather pictures. Rows of | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
pumpkins have been captured in Hampshire by Rod Smith and this | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
water vole was caught on camera today by Heidi Harrison. Lovely | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
weather pictures, thank you very much, for all of those. We did have | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
a quite a lot of cloud. A north south divide for most today. | :25:15. | :25:24. | |
Donnite, we will see some dense fog appearing in places with the warm, | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
moist air we are having at the moment. The cloud will disappear but | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
the dense fog will set in, reducing visibility first thing for the rush | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
hour drive. Mild temperatures. | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
A misty, murky start to the day tomorrow. Do stay tuned to your | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
local BBC Radio station and there may be some disruption to travel | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
with the mist and the fog patches first thing. | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
Around 10 o'clock, we are hoping the fog will lift. But it will be dense | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
first thing. Sunny spells will start to appear more readily than today. | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
Pleasantly warm temperatures in the Some evening sunshine on offer | :26:04. | :26:17. | |
tomorrow night. Cloudy skies during the early hours of Wednesday | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
morning, once again mist and fog is a possibility. That low cloud | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
lifting first thing on Wednesday morning. Lows of 12—14. | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
Very similar temperatures to what we have tonight. | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
Misty murky starts to Wednesday and similar to the days for the rest of | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
this week. The high pressure starts to drift | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
away. The low pressure takes charge and we'll start to seize some | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
weather fronts push in from the Atlantic, so some showers at times, | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
bands of rain during the course of Wednesday afternoon and into | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
Thursday morning. So lots of sunshine after that misty, murky | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
start first thing, the winds will be fairly light. Drawing in dry air | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
from the near continent. Wednesday, we will have a lot of cloud around. | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
A misty start once again and rain is possible in the form of showers | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
later in the day on Wednesday, lasting into Thursday. Friday, some | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
sunshine, but it turns unsettled Friday into the weekend. | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
Thank you very much. Nice weather for a swim! That is it for from | :27:19. | :27:25. |
